ChangeSet 1.1643.36.23, 2004/04/12 15:15:13-07:00, khali@linux-fr.org

[PATCH] I2C: Rework memory allocation in i2c chip drivers

Additional remarks:

1* This patch also removes an unused struct member in via686a and fixes
an error message in ds1621.

2* I discovered error path problems in it87 and via686a detection
functions. For the it87, I think that this patch makes it even more
broken. I will fix both drivers in a later patch (really soon).
